Pretty sure most of you already know this but for those who don’t: you have two clipboards in Linux. One is the traditional clipboard where you copy with control c and paste with control v. The other one is when you highlight text and use the mouse middle click to paste text.

Neat, he?

It’s a pain when you switch between Windows and Linux all the time and you can’t do the middle click in Windows.

Tbf, lots of things in Windows are a pain when you’re used to Linux.

Correction: Lots more things are a pain…

But on the other hand, many things that you take for granted on Windows are a pain on Linux. For example, if you want to see advertisements, you can’t just open the Start menu.

Just simply…At least in Cinnamon, I can mouse over the audio icon on the panel and roll the scroll wheel to change the volume. Last time I tried it on Windows, you had to click the icon first. While that alone doesn’t sound like much, the whole OS is like that, needing extra little interactions for basically everything. Now that I’m used to using Cinnamon, using Windows feels like walking in beach sand.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
